Tip of the Day: Capturing Rainbows With Your Camera

Driving through the park one day, I realized how easy it is to capture rainbows, when there's sun and the sprinkler systems are running. On a sunny day, make a trip out to your neighborhood park, and find a sprinkler running. Look for the sun, and if you position yourself directly facing it, through the stream of water, you will see a beautiful rainbow. Slow your camera down enough to capture a smooth flowing stream, somewhere around 1/30 to 1/60 sec. and take some shots. Use a tripod to avoid blur.
